Option 2 – Use our invitation tool in the ticket- & management-console:

Our tool enables you to invite your customers to INTERGEO by e-mail straight from the ticket- & management-console (link via the Exhibitor Service Portal). You can find the relevant tool in the “Visitor vouchers: Print vouchers, voucher codes, campaigns”, under the “Invite visitors” tab. You will then have the choice between using a text template provided by us to invite your customers to the event or composing and saving a text of your own. Your visitors will receive an e-mail with a voucher link in your name and can register directly in our online shop.

You can create campaigns and mailings under “Invite visitors”. You can also use campaigns to organise customer invitations there. The campaigns will help you to group your customers and manage them more easily, e.g. for registration, clearing, reminder mailings and reporting. An assistant will help you create the campaign, though of course, you can go ahead without it and select the allocation and type of pass, then change the e-mail template to your own requirements. You can enter people’s details individually or download the Excel template that will make it possible for you to add whole groups.

When they redeem the voucher code and register in our online ticket shop, your customers will receive a free three-day EXPO ticket to visit the INTERGEO EXPO, including the presentations of the EXPO-stages. Please consider that a separate ticket has to be purchased for the INTERGEO CONFERENCE.

Among other things, the INTERGEO report draws the attention of potential visitors to the exhibitors and supporting programme at INTERGEO and thus heightens their interest in the event. Ahead of the trade fair, the online list of exhibitors helps visitors prepare for their visit. The list of exhibitors is an important research tool that enables a global search for your company, your products and your services. It offers you an additional, year-round platform for marketing your products.

When you registered for INTERGEO, you already automatically booked the services included in the basic marketing package. We also offer a diverse range of additional advertising options that can help you boost the visibility of your company. Please see our marketing service guide for more information.

You can book all the services from the marketing service guide online via the Exhibitor Service Portal, under the “Communication & marketing” tab.

In addition to the highlights of the CONFERENCE and EXPO, it also includes the list of exhibitors and an overview of the full programme. The INTERGEO report is distributed to all visitors on site.

As the main exhibitor, you will receive the invoice of your co-exhibitor. This does not apply if the checkbox on the application form indicates that the invoice is to be sent directly to the co-exhibitor.

In principle, the distribution of samples for consumption on the spot and the sale of food and beverages is permitted. The free distribution of samples, i.e. the distribution of food and beverages for immediate consumption in quantities smaller than those customary in the trade as well as free catering for customers, is not subject to approval. Please refer to the "Information sheet on hygienic minimum requirements for food stalls at markets, public festivals and similar events".

With regard to Covid-19, it is recommended to refrain from offering open food and beverages. When selecting food, individual packaging or food and beverages that can be portioned well and served individually are suitable.

The host is not liable for exhibitors’ property if it is lost, damaged or stolen.

Our advice:

If your stand is not permanently staffed (including at night), you can pay Messe Berlin for stand security.

You can further protect your high-value products and your stand against all eventualities by taking out exhibitor and transport insurance before the event.

Both of these can be booked via the Exhibitor Service Portal under “Stand&Technics”.

Effective 24 July 2013, the German Federal Foreign Office instructed visa offices in Germany’s diplomatic missions that, as a rule, no letter of invitation from trade fair organizers need be presented any more as part of an application for a visa to enter Germany for the purpose of a trade fair.

Please cite this information in your visa application.

To ensure that you receive your visa in time for the fair, we advise you to apply for a visa early. Please contact the responsible embassy in your country as early as possible regarding possible travel restrictions and extended requirements for visa applications. The INTERGEO team will be happy to assist you should it not be possible for some of your stand personnel to travel to Essen.

According to the current state of affairs, a stand party is possible subject to compliance with the following measures:

A stand party can take place under 3G with fixed seating without a DJ and dance floor, but with mandatory masks outside the fixed seating. As all visitors to a fair comply with 3G status by entering the fair, no additional control is required. A stand party with a dance floor, DJ and no mask requirement can also take place if the party area is subject to access control with 2G verification. A simple cordoning off of the stand with e.g. tensators would be sufficient here.

No, animals are not allowed on the trade fair venue. Exception: Guide dogs for the disabled, guide dogs for the blind, service dogs.

Only photographers approved by the event organiser are permitted to undertake commercial photography and filming on the trade fair site. Any exceptions to this rule require the written permission of the event organiser. The event organiser is entitled to use all types of images for general purposes, or its own publications. As part of this, exhibitors relinquish the right to raise any objections based on copyright.

Please see the information sheet “Intellectual property infringement at German trade fairs” from AUMA (Association of the German Trade Fair Industry) for detailed information.
